Join experts from the U.S. State Department and the environmental law firm Beveridge and Diamond for a discussion of new and anticipated international rules governing plastics use and management in the electronics value chain.
My colleague Happy Holden famously stated that only about 10% of design packages received by PCB fabricators are complete and accurate out of the gate. This means unnecessary time and cost are going into the other 90% of jobs. What it also means is that design success and product reliability are in jeopardy if these issues are not identified and addressed.
Early engagement between a PCB fabricator and a PCB designer is essential to avoid common design issues that will impact the success of any PCB design. Getting the PCB fabricator's engineers together with the PCB designers to understand manufacturing capabilities and collaborate on the optimum design solution for a particular application is mission-critical to the success of the project. This webinar will cover:
• Customer service representatives are not engineers; why all technical questions cannot be addressed during the quoting stage.
• What happens when the customer's netlist does not match the customer's Gerber/3d data.
• Customer impedance requirements don't match the drawings/data.
• Picking the appropriate material set for a given design application.
• Customized CAM adjustments for manufacturability.
• The impact of a PCB designer not understanding fabricator capabilities.
• Unmanufacturable designs.
• Inheriting designs from another PCB fabricator.
• Overdesigning a project from a complexity and cost standpoint.
• Early and often engagement; it's all about time and cost.
IPC cordially invites you to attend the 2024 CIT Networking Event and the main meeting on EMS Digital Smart Factory, which will be held in Taipei on March 8, 2024.
This event will be organized during 2024 Taiwan Robot and Intelligent Automation Exhibition \ 2024 Taipei International Industrial Automation Exhibition from August 21-24, showcasing the research and experience on industry pain points:
Electric vehicles and smart cars have become one of the fastest-growing markets in the electronics industry. With demands for automation, electrification, connectivity, and safety, vehicles are not only integrating more electronic products from various industries, but their quality and reliability must also be enhanced.
With the rapid development of electronic information technology and the continuous drive towards electrification, intelligence, and connectivity in the automotive industry, the landscape of automobile manufacturing is undergoing constant changes.
Join IPC on June 24 at 10:00 am EDT for a special virtual event, "Bold Breakthroughs: Women Reshaping the Engineering Landscape," as we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED). Our lineup of panelists features nine extraordinary women from nine different countries, each a leader in her own right within the electronics industry.
Join IPC at Global Industrie March 25-28 in Paris, when we will host the IPC Forum, a program covering all aspects of the electronics manufacturing industry. Meet the best experts in the industry presenting on key industry topics.
A group of industry experts will discuss the evidence of the root causes of creep corrosion, relevant testing, and effective mitigation strategies available to prevent creep corrosion failures in electronics. Fundamentally, creep corrosion is the product of the reaction of copper with sulfur, which may be mitigated with manufacturing processes, such as the printed circuit board solder mask and surface finish, conformal coating, and enclosure levels, as well as during end use operation, such as filtration. Several types of harsh environmental test methods that are used to evaluate for product susceptibility to creep corrosion will also be reviewed.
Panelists include:
• Randy Schueller, Ph.D., Dell, Director, Client Reliability & Durability
• Christopher Genthe, Rockwell Automation, Senior Principal Engineer
• Paul Leone, Rockwell Automation, Principal Engineer
The International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS) and IPC will host a three-day Workshop to discuss and promote strategies to improve On-Shoring Advanced Packaging and Assembly, April 29 - May 1, 2024, at The Westin Arlington, Arlington, VA.
